Feel free to bring your own drink as well if you want something particular - just remember that we don't have a liquor license! Winnipeg Harvest Food Drive Also as in previous years, we will combine our pot luck with a food drive for Winnipeg Harvest. Cash donations are preferred this year as every $1 Winnipeg Harvest receives, they are able to pick up and deliver $20 worth of groceries. *Any member who donates at least $1 or brings at least 1 food item will be given an entry into the door prize draw!* Winnipeg Harvest has information about what they're looking for on their website: http://winnipegharvest.org/donate-food/ The group holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June.
